    Try a paint cleaner asap. If that doesn't work try some M205

    Single stage paint? If so, this is common and will come off with polishing.

    When black trim stains white... this is usually not a good sign...

    Try wiping with a wet wash cloth saturated with water and some soap. You want to try to get the water to mix with the now-dried APC so that it can be removed out of and off of the plastic trim.

    At this point, it's probably going to be hard to undo the damage.

    But try using normal soap and water and then wiping dry.

    After that treat with whatever dressing you normally use, this might not undo any damage but it might restore a darker and more uniform appearance.

    Pictures?

    Re: need help emergency!

    ok so today i did a interior that hasnt been cleaned since 2003. it has brown stains i have no idea what they are kind of looks like rust stains or maybe coca cola stains. this is my gf car but it was given to her by her parents which have 2 other kids. there is crayon markings all over the place the leather is very dirty. I used mg apc plus to clean the leather a bit and followed that with opti protectant with a brush and mf towel. They dont seem to get cleaner lol. i cant get those carpet stains out i tryed apc plus with a little oxy clean with a stiff brush then cleaned it out with water and wet vac'd it. yes some of the brown stuff came off but i think it permanently stained the carpet. also the leather has little red spots "possibly acrylic nail paint" and it wont come off. How would you guys go about this?? i will be posting pics up soon. oh yeah i forgot to add, i tried the ice trick on some gum but to no avail didnt want to come out.

    Sometimes theres just nothing else that can be done. Sounds like this may be one of those scenarios

    The nail polish...try picking it with yoiur fingernail

    What APC are you using? Simple Green?
